Chapter 51: The First Arrival at the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain

In the vast universe, the spaceship that Kyle and the others were on was like a tiny shooting star, cutting through the silent starry sky and speeding towards the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain. After a long and boring interstellar journey, although everyone's faces showed signs of fatigue, their eyes were filled with anticipation. They knew very well that the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain might hold the key to completely solving the problem of the "Dark Erosion".

As the spaceship gradually approached its destination, through the porthole, a colorful and strange scene came into view. That was the entrance to the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain. The multicolored lights intertwined, like a dreamy light curtain, emitting mysterious and powerful energy fluctuations. Strange energies surged at the entrance, forming various wonderful shapes, sometimes like agile ribbons, and sometimes like blooming flowers. There were faintly glowing gravels floating around, and they slowly rotated under the push of the energy, as if telling the ancient stories of this star domain. In the distance, the silhouettes of the spirit trees loomed. Their huge branches were faintly visible in the clouds, exuding an indescribable majesty. However, at the edge of this magnificent scene, the black aura of the "Dark Erosion" emerged faintly like a ghost, casting a shadow over this beautiful star domain.

"This is the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain..." Kyle murmured softly, his eyes full of shock. Elsa stared intently out the window, and the multicolored lights were reflected in her ice-blue eyes. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful, yet there are hidden dangers." Morgan was excitedly fidgeting in his seat, eager to set foot on this mysterious star domain. Cavin pushed his glasses and carefully observed the energy fluctuations at the entrance, trying to obtain more information from them. Alicia stood quietly by the side. As an interstellar guardian, she had seen countless strange scenes, but the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain in front of her still filled her with awe.

The spaceship slowly passed through the entrance where the multicolored lights intertwined and entered the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain. As soon as they entered, a rich and unique energy rushed towards them, and everyone suddenly felt a boost in their spirits. "This energy... seems to have a subtle connection with the stardust power," Kyle said thoughtfully as he felt the surrounding energy.

Just then, the alarm of the spaceship suddenly rang out. Cavin quickly operated the control console to check the cause of the alarm. "Not good, there are unknown objects approaching rapidly!" There was a trace of nervousness in his voice. Everyone immediately became vigilant and prepared to deal with the possible danger.

Through the spaceship's observation device, they saw a group of small "Dark Erosion" monsters flying towards the spaceship. These monsters were small in size but extremely fast. Their bodies were composed of black energy, exuding an evil aura. Their sharp claws and fangs glinted coldly under the illumination of the multicolored lights.

"It seems we've got trouble as soon as we arrived," Morgan clenched the weapon in his hand, his eyes shining with the light of battle. Kyle nodded and said, "Everyone, be careful and get ready for battle." Elsa quickly gathered ice magic in her hands, and the cold energy lingered around her. Alicia also entered a combat state, and the power of the interstellar guardian surged within her.

However, just as they were about to fight off the monsters, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked in front of the spaceship. Everyone took a closer look and saw a young man with a vigorous figure. He was wearing a cloak with the pattern of spirit trees and had a long sword inlaid with spirit tree gems at his waist. His eyes were firm and persistent, and he was brandishing the long sword, engaging in a fierce battle with those small "Dark Erosion" monsters.

"Who is that?" Elsa asked in surprise. Kyle frowned and carefully observed the young man's fighting style. He said, "Judging from his equipment and fighting style, he should be related to the Colorful Spirit Trees."

This young man was Lynn, a descendant of the Spirit Tree Guardians. He had detected the abnormal movement of the "Dark Erosion" monsters in this star domain and came to check. He happened to encounter the spaceship of Kyle and the others. When he saw the monsters attacking the spaceship, he rushed up without hesitation.

Lynn's swordsmanship was skillful. Every swing of his sword carried a fierce momentum. The spirit tree gem on the hilt of the sword sparkled, seemingly adding extra power to his attacks. He was agile in movement, shuttling freely among the group of monsters and repelling the monsters that approached the spaceship one by one. But there were a large number of monsters, and new monsters kept joining the battle, so Lynn gradually became a bit strained.

"We can't just stand by and watch. Let's go out and help him!" Kyle said decisively. Everyone nodded in agreement, opened the spaceship hatch, and flew towards the battlefield.

Kyle brandished his stardust long sword, and the stardust power shimmered on the sword. He rushed into the group of monsters and fought side by side with Lynn. Every swing of his sword could shatter several monsters, and black energy fragments scattered in the air. Elsa cast her ice magic from the rear, summoning ice cones and ice walls. On the one hand, she prevented the monsters from approaching, and on the other hand, she provided support for Kyle and Lynn. The ice cones shot towards the monsters like arrows, freezing them in mid-air. Morgan used his illusion ability to create multiple clones, confusing the monsters' vision and at the same time looking for opportunities to attack the monsters' vital parts. Cavin, on the spaceship, used magic to cast buff effects on everyone, enhancing their strength and defense. Alicia, with her powerful abilities as an interstellar guardian, was like a fish in water among the group of monsters. Her attacks were fierce and precise, and every strike could deal a heavy blow to the monsters.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the situation was gradually turned around. The number of small "Dark Erosion" monsters became fewer and fewer. Finally, the remaining monsters, seeing that the situation was not favorable, fled in all directions.

Lynn put away his long sword, walked up to Kyle and the others, and bowed slightly. He said, "Thank you all for your help. If it weren't for your timely action, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to fend off so many monsters." Kyle quickly helped Lynn up and smiled, saying, "You're welcome. We just arrived in this star domain. Thanks to your early warning, otherwise we would have been really caught off guard. By the way, who are you? Why were you fighting these monsters here?"

Lynn straightened up and introduced himself, "My name is Lynn, a descendant of the Spirit Tree Guardians. Our family has been guarding the Colorful Spirit Trees for generations, and this star domain is our homeland. But since the invasion of the 'Dark Erosion', everything has changed. These monsters keep appearing, destroying the spirit trees and also threatening other lives in the star domain. I've been doing my best to protect it. Just now, I detected the abnormal movement here and rushed over."

After hearing Lynn's words, everyone had more admiration for him in their hearts. Elsa asked, "Lynn, you're very familiar with this star domain. Can you tell us about the current situation? We're here to find a way to solve the problem of the 'Dark Erosion'."

Lynn nodded, and his expression became solemn. He said, "Now, the Colorful Spirit Trees have been eroded by the 'Dark Erosion' and are on the verge of death. The core area of the spirit trees is shrouded in the power of the 'Dark Erosion', and it's full of dangers there. The Stardust Canyon has also become extremely unstable, and energy storms often rage. The situation of the Spirit Lake is equally worrying. The lake water has been polluted by the 'Dark Erosion', and the creatures in the lake have also been affected. The entire star domain has fallen into chaos and darkness."

Kyle frowned. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "As a descendant of the Spirit Tree Guardians, you must have a deeper understanding of the past and present of the spirit trees. In your opinion, how did the 'Dark Erosion' erode the spirit trees step by step?"

Lynn looked towards the faintly visible spirit trees in the distance and said slowly, "A long time ago, the spirit trees had a harmonious symbiotic relationship with our Lingyao Clan. Its mental fluctuations could help us enhance our perception of the stardust power. At that time, the spirit trees were lush and full of vitality, and their multicolored lights shone brightly. But the appearance of the 'Dark Erosion' shattered all of this. At first, there were just some subtle changes. The light of the spirit trees became dim, and their mental fluctuations also became disordered. We tried to find out the cause but had no clue. As time went by, the power of the 'Dark Erosion' became stronger and stronger. The branches of the spirit trees began to twist, the bark became rough, and they were gradually eroded by the darkness. Our family tried all kinds of methods and used all the means to protect the spirit trees, but we still couldn't stop the spread of the 'Dark Erosion'."

Alicia then asked, "Before the invasion of the 'Dark Erosion', did the spirit trees have any special abilities or functions related to resisting this dark power?"

Lynn shook his head slightly and said, "According to the family records, the spirit trees have always been a symbol of peace and vitality. Their power was mostly used to nourish the star domain and promote the growth of all things, echoing with the stardust power. But for this kind of evil power like the 'Dark Erosion', there doesn't seem to be a targeted defense mechanism. However, the spirit trees have experienced many crises with us. Perhaps in their remaining will, there is the key to combating the 'Dark Erosion'. It's just that the core area of the spirit trees is now too dangerous. I've tried to enter it many times but haven't been able to explore deeply."

Kyle took out the Spirit Tree Guidance Stone and said, "We have this. It can roughly indicate the direction of the core area of the spirit trees. Maybe we can go together. Maybe we can find a way to solve the problem of the 'Dark Erosion'." When Lynn saw the Spirit Tree Guidance Stone, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He said excitedly, "This is the Spirit Tree Guidance Stone! With it, it will be much easier for us to find the core area of the spirit trees. I'm familiar with many paths and dangers in this star domain and will definitely be able to help."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
